Gnus. Gnus is to mail and news readers what emacs is to text 
editors. 

To give you an example, to use gmail with IMAP as an example, you 
just have to add this to your .emacs:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp 
  (setq gnus-select-method
        '(nnimap "gmail" (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")) 
#+END_SRC 

And you are good to go, just do M-x gnus.

To not be asked for your username and password, create a file 
~/.authinfo.gpg with the contents:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  machine imap.gmail.com login your_username password 
  your_password port 993
  machine smtp.gmail.com login your_username password 
  your_password port 587 
#+END_EXAMPLE

Save it, emacs will encrypt it, ask you for a new password, and 
from then on, gnus will only ask you the new password once per 
session.

To understand how gnus deals with mail, copy this in your scratch 
buffer

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
  (info "(gnus) Mail in a Newsreader")
#+END_EXAMPLE

Go to the end of the line and hit C-j
